Some Practical Sn,ftgPi:lons Regarding the Selection Moat. Beef is not. only the most wholesome, but the most economical meat for n family. In choosing pood meat it is well to l)e sure that the grain is smooth rather than open, and that the lean is of a fresh, bright red color. The fat should look white rather than yellow, aiul in young beef, which is the more tender, the liber is elastic and rises when pressed with the finger. The prime pieces of beef are the sir loin, the ribs and the round. The two first are usually roasted; the brisket and the shoulder are best for boiling or stewing. A delicate aud tender steak is sometimes made from the inside or li 1 let of the sirloin. It should never be pounded, which, is a vain attempt to make tough meat tender by bruising its fibers. If beef is intended for boiling, it is usually rubbed over with a little salt. A tablespoonftil of vinegar add- , ed to the water will render it quite tender. The loss of weight in cooking meat is from one-fifth to one-third, which is chiefly water, and beef shrinks con siderably less than some other kinds of meat. Lean beef contains 72 per cent, of water, and fat beef 51 per cent. Roast beef is digested in three hours; salt beef requires four aud a quarter to four and a half hours. The great point in cooking moat is i to render it tender without extracting tlie juices, and it is better to cook it slowly, so that the loss shall be only j i water. Rut it should first be subjected L to a high heat, thus coagulating the surface albumen so as to retain the juices. The usual time for roasting is calcu lated at a quarter of an hour for each pound of meat, and it should be fre quently basted. When serving, the dish should be handsomely garnished —Cincinnati Enquirer. EMPIRE LAMP SHADES. They Are AII the Kagc and. Thank Good ness, Easily Made. Draped lamp shades arc 110 longer the most fashionable things of their kind. A more inexpensive, and at the same time a more easily mnde-nt-homc kind, is now to be used. It is called the "Em pire," as most decorative house furnish ings are called now. The handsome lamp shades, flaring very much at the FIG. 1. —SHADE SHAPE. bottom, made of crinkled paper, silk, flowers, fringe, etc., are quite expensive, so that they are only suitable for piano or banquet lamps among people who are able to stand the expense. The new "tub" shades may be made of white or tintefl heavy, plain paper or light card board, cut to shape, and the two ends fastened together with a small wire I clamp such as is used in offices to liokl manuscript together. So they ore ex tremely inexpensive. They have to be used 011 wire frames on the lamps, like other shades, of course, but those of the light shape and size can now bo had as cheap as any. Indeed, a very little in genuity will enable anyone to make the wire frame liersclf. These little lamp shades may be made as pretty as de sired by a little painting in water col ors, pin-tracing or India ink outline sketching. The end fastenings may be concealed by rosettes or butterfly bows of ribbon. The materials used are so inexpensive that even if they do scorch at tlie upper edge soon, they can readily lie replaced by new ones. 1 have tried them and like them very much. They i FIG. 2. —SHADE FASTENED AT ENDS. will not scorch easily as they are so roomy at the top. I give the shape in the figures. The size must be regulated bv size of lamp. For a large piano or parlor lamp, 24 inches diameter at the bottom is übout correct with about 15 for depth between top and bottom of j shade. The diameter of the upper edge j should not be much less than that of the bottom. If anyone has nil old-fashioned candelabrum with two or more sockets for candles, tiny "tub" shades can easily be made to fit them. Make them of "water color" paper, if you paint, pow dered with small Dresden flowers. A I yard and a half will make several small 1 or one good-sized lamp shade. If you | cannot paint, cut out a leaf and flower design from gold or silver paper, and paste on.—Ohio Farmer. llow to Makfi Mince (Scallops. A nice way to utilize cold meat is to, cook one tablespoon fill of onion cut flue in two tnblespoonfuls of butter, until it turns a golden yellow. Add one cup if fresh bread crumbs, one cup of cooked meat chopped fine, one.saltspoon of salt, a half saltspoon of pepper, a quarter saltspoon of nutmeg and one teaspoon of thin, yellow rind of lemon, and a half cup of water r weak stock.

To measure a room in order to find out how many rolls of paper will be required to cover the walls, multiply the. length the height of each wall, add together the number of square feet of the walls, getting total number of aqua re feet. Allow one-half roll of paper for each door and window. Di vide the whole amount by 33, which will give you the number of rolls of paper required for tjie walls, including waste. LANCASTER, 23; TIGERS, 4. THAT WAS THE SCORE OF YESTER DAY'S GAME AT THE PARK. State League Leaders Had No Difficulty in Finding Pitcher Groux's Delivery. Aided by the Errors of the Home Club They Had Tilings Their Own Way. The Tigers suffered their second defeat of the season at the park yester day by one of the largest scores ever accumulated in a game in which they participated, it was accomplished b) the Lancaster State league club, which was iu excellent condition and played a remarkably fast- game. The Tigers suf fered from a severe attack of rattles as s ion as tlie professionals manifested their condition, which they did iu the lirst inning by knocking in live runs. They lighted onto Pitcher Groux with out the least trouble. The homo players had no confidence in themselves when they realized the weakness in the pitcher's box, and could neither field the ball nor hit ft. Their work in the latter respect was surprising when compared with last Sunday, when they hatted a speedier and harder work ing pitcher than any of yesterday's men tried to be. The Tigers had no hold on yesterday's game at any time. Both their pitchers were easy marks for the professional i batters, and the fielding of the whole 4*l uh was wretched throughout the entire game. The visitors played an excellent game, and while seven errors arc marked against them they could easily have avoided these had they exerted them selves. The feature of tho game was tin repetition by Seybold of his batting of last year, when he again knocked the ball over the loft field fence for a home run. Shortstop Buttermore played a high-class game, and covered his pari of the diamond iu about as good style as any man seen here in many days. The score: TIGERS. I LANCASTER. H. H.O.A.K. R. 11.0. A.K.

It is unnecessary to state that Mana ger llunlou's attraction for next Sunday will fill the Tigers park. The Hazleton State league club will bo the opponents j of his team on that day. and the old- ' time rivalry existing between the Tigers j and the Hazleton players will place both sides 011 their mettle. It is one of the choicest attractions that could be scheduled, and it is safe to predict that the spectators will get.more than their money's worth. While a game of ball was in progress 1 at Lost Crook, Schuylkill county. Joseph I Bradshaw, aged 14 years, was struck in tho head by a foul tip. lie fell uncon scious to the ground and died iu five minutes later. A blood vessel at the j base; of the skull has been ruptured. The playing of the Tigers yesterday 1 was the worst exhibition that has been ' given by the team in many days. The management is negotiating with some new men for the coming game. Umpire Gallagher brought the grand stand down 011 him yesterday by bis decision on a long hit of Me Fad den's bat, which would have meant three j bases. The friends of Charles McGcehan are congratulating him upon his escape from being classed as a member of the Hazle ton State league team. The Stars played the Jeanesville club at tin; park yesterday morning. The score was 17 to 2 in favor of J-hc Freeland 1 boys. The dust was a source of great annoy ance to the spectators at yesterday's j game. i Third Baseman McGarvey is still idle j i with his split hand of last Sunday. The Stars was the only Freeland club | that won yesterday. Anthracite League. The Travelers met defeat for the lirst! time in the league yesterday. The Atli -1 letic gots them on their own grounds at I Hazleton and did not spare them. Tho I score was 25 to 7. The Fearnots played at Lattlmer and went down before the team there. The score was 15 to 10. The McAdoo-IMoncer game was not completed, owing to trouble 011 tho on ground, which is noted on first page. The clubs stand as follows: W. L. 1'.C.1 w. L. P.O.
